Yesterday someone (the gnomes, likely) screwed up my theme. I repaired the damage, but got stuck at the featured posts. Until the gnomes messed up my theme, I marked posts as Featured, Cat 1, Cat 2. It would show up only on Featured, until replaced by fresher Featured posts. Then it would appear in Cat 1 and Cat 2.
Now that post is showing in Featured, Cat 1 and Cat 2 at the same time. How can I fix this? My client (who denies he was that gnome) also noticed that one post now appears 3 times: One in Featured Posts, Second in it’s proper category and Third in ‘For you selected’ at the bottom of the page. All at the same time. It should be one after another. First in Featured, then in the category and finally in the ‘For you selected’ block.
Hello josflachs,
Please provide your website URL and also, some useful screenshots to show where the problem occurred. I need to know these details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for the message!
Hi Catalin,
You’ll see the same items in Featured, in their respective category (always 1 category) and in the last block ‘Voor u geselecteerd’. I’ve no idea what the owner did. He did something with the 2 video blocks, but when I took a look those blocks were gone, and so was the sidebar.
I build a new theme, copied the existing untouched blocks in it, restored what was missing. But this I can’t put my finger on.
How do I attach screenshots?
Hello josflachs,
Please attach them using the Jing online tool. These will contribute to a better understanding.
Thanks for the message!
same problem, especially in home page
Catalan? Any suggestions?
Weird. After I posted my previous message, I got a call the site works normal. Now, 3 hours later the problem is back. Everything is again posted 3 times.
hello,
You should limit access to such people đ
I;m not sure exactly what is going on with oyur block settings but you should start from the top. Make sure each post is in it;s proper category and check the category parents from the category section of wordpress. Next, check the blocks on the homepage and see if the settings for them had been changed. You can use this guide to see what each setting does: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Unfortunately you are the one that has to investigate as we have no idea of how the site/blocks were set before the ‘gnomes’ came in.
Thank you and best of luck.

I agree, but he is the owner…

Done that.

Okay. Here are the settings for Featured:
Big Grid 7, Post ID filter: blank, Category filter: Featured [id: 145]
Now the first block (the others are the same)
In Thailand = Block 1
Post ID filter: -145 <— This does not seem to work
Category filter: Thailand – [id:38]
Ajax filter: Filter by categories
As I understand, the Post ID filter can exclude a category. -145 should exclude (in my site) the Featured category. But it show up anyway.

Hello,
@Giulianoo In order to remove a category from a block yu can simply add it with a minus using the post id like so: https://www.screencast.com/t/BvCTcq5LWY
@josflachs please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so I can login and investigate exactly why the sorting does not work on your end.
Thank you!
Hi Bogdan & Catalan,
thanks for the offer. I can only say … “diddums!” … after solving it, it was so easy.
I had to turn on the Unique Articles in the Page Template Settings. Completely overlooked that one. Drove me nuts.
